    Have a look in the "I wanna" forum, people are posting in there when they find them. You can also try these links to stock locators

    I got one at Amazon last month but they are tricky to get hold of. I saw some in my local CEX shop the other day but they wanted £240 for an unboxed one with no games!
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die


  • I am told that a few places have them in stock but they are drip feeding the market - Try toy's R Us. You may have to queue though

    Oops might have left myself with a problem this christmas - I've never had to buy a popular pressie before what happened to an orange & a walnut from Santa ;-) lol
  • We got ours via a friend of a friend who told us where and when we should be at the store front.

    Pre order via tesco's and or Woolworths

    Some people have been buying them from www.amazon.de and they appear to be in stock there at the moment from what I can make out using the google translator.

  • I got one recently by phoning around a few places. I phoned virgin megastore (or whatever they're called now.. vazzi, zazzi, something like that) and asked if they had any. They told me no, but if I came in immediately (it was a saturday), I could put down a deposit and have one when they came in Monday.

    They told me there was still no guarantee, but if they didn't have one for me Monday, they'd give me a refund.
    They did have one on Monday, and I got nothing done for the next 2 weeks, although I did get a bit of muscle strain in my arms, from boxing too vigorously :D
